I initially visited Dr. Sheft 14 years ago with a pain in my ear. I had brought my medical files with me and for the first time, a physician took their time to review my entire file and discuss my history in detail. During his review of my files he noticed an MRI report from a 2 years earlier which showed a nodule on my thyroid. I informed him that my primary care physician is aware of it for the past 2 years and my primary care physician assured me it was nothing to be concerned about since it is most likely not cancerous. Dr. Sheft did not agree with my primary care physician's diagnosis and convinced me to have it checked.

He scheduled me for an ultrasound and discovered that the nodule grew over 120% in 2 years. He ordered a biopsy and confirmed that it was a form of cancer called papillary carcinoma. I proceeded to have a surgery to have my thyroid completely removed and have been cancer free for 13 years now
I will always be grateful to Dr. Sheft for his genuine care, thoroughness, thoughtfulness and professionalism. He took his time and got it right and I'm cured because of him. May god bless and protect him and his family.

Went above and beyond in helping me understand a difficult-to-hear diagnosis. Personally called me over the weekend to discuss my test results.
